FYI, I just received an admission email offer for Queens MPH. So I have heard from both schools I applied to. Good luck to all waiting !

Sure, I have a previous MA degree, about 3.85 ish. I did an extra year of undergrad with a current GPA of 3.94 but my undergrad cGPA is lower. I've worked for several environmental NGOs, am an editor for a few student journals, and have some co-authored reports.

Wow that is impressive! Guess I will be meeting you in the fall then?

It still says Decision Made. I am fairly certain it will only one of the two statuses, under review or decision made.

So I just called and confirmed my acceptance to U of T Epi. Good luck to all and maybe see you in Toronto in the Fall! If anybody is looking for a roommate, I'm starting to look soon!

Not sure if anyone else got this, but I got a generic email invite to the spring MPH open house at U of T. Possibly optimistic good sign?

What does your online status say? Decision made or under review before finding out this decision?

I don't have access to my snail mail until later this week (I'm away) so I guess I could call or email. If you hear or receive anything let me know! historically, does anyone know if they put decision made only if you are accepted or also for non acceptance applicants?

Hi all, My U of T online status has changed to Decision Made. Anybody know what to do from here (i.e. call?) What does this mean?

Also random question; the Epi program at U of T is pretty math/ stats intense. While I have taken stats, I am not the most competent math person. And while I want the skill set, I can't really see myself doing graphical analysis all day, etc. I could moreso see it as a great complement to health policy work, and obviously its necessary for conducting and comprehending medical research. Anyone else going into this stream with a similar concern?

Hi all, I was accepted to the MPH Epi Stream at U of T. I accepted over a month ago, but it looks like I may not be able to attend... I applied sort of as a 'test run' and only got into U of T (the best option) after applying to MSc. Epi programs at Ottawa and Queens. The reason I may be unable to attend is that I will not be finished my current MA in time. And while I could take a leave of absence, I would be giving up my research activities, scholarship, etc. SO, because I cannot defer, I may reapply next year, and take some intro to epi/ health sciences courses in the interim while i finish the MA. Am I crazy? I really hope if i can continue to improve my ECs, they would want me again next year, but maybe not...?
